- Part 8 -
The Tax Break Shenanigans of J. Winston Krause
n 2008, Commissioner Krause sued the IRS to get a
refund of interest and penalties he had paid for a disallowed
deduction and income. The disallowed deduction ... he
bought Canadian dollars for $20K; claimed he paid
$2.8 million; he showed a loss of <$2.7 million> yet
he had sold the Canadian dollars for $19.5K. A 2010
5th Circuit of Appeals quote ... "Krause's Tax
Chicanery"
A very interesting and telling story
about the man who Chairs our Lottery.

About Those Awful Changes To Mega Millions
If Players had consumer protection, rules like this would
not be adopted. Increased odds, increased ticket price ($2),

Petition Delivered To
Governor's Office
The purpose of the Petition is two fold ...
One is for
lottery players to be afforded Consumer Protection.
Secondly, players
are calling for our elected officials
to give us an
HONEST lottery and FAIR games of chance.
Did you know that if anyone has a dispute with the lottery,
they have no recourse. The lottery is the ONLY industy
in Texas
where consumers have no consumer protection.

Dallas Morning News Reported TX LotteryDirector Gary Grief Was Less Than Honest
We've got a lottery director who will do
anything to screw
consumers just to make more money for the state - termed
"easy money." Our lawmakers need
to take action. I'd think
Grief's role
with MUSL (Powerball) is being scrutinized
by
the other states too. If Chuck Strutt took
a fall for the
jackpot fixing scandal,
then Grief should be right behind him.
It's very difficult for players to trust someone who
does not
tell the truth. This story
has gone national and is an
embarrassment to Texas. 1/16/16. Click here

TX Scratch Ticket Player Indicted For Fraud
Ticket checker tells player ticket is $100 winner but the

the ticket after he paid it - a violation of the administrative code, rule
and retailer handbook. Why did the ticket checker mislead her? It
should have told her it had been previously paid - not that it was a
$100 winner? Incredible story by the Austin Chronicle.(6/8/12)

Texans may not be able to obtain Mega Millions public information.
Some Mega Million states, including Texas, may claim they don't have
